j Fifteen applicants for licenses to
I practice barbering in Nebraska who
: have indicated their desire to par
ticipate in the first examination ccn
. ducted by the state barber board, to
be held April 9 in Lincoln, will each
have to bring along a subject to
work upon in order to demonstrate
his or her capacity with razor, clip
pers, and shears.
Notice to this effect is being mail
ed by the barber board to every ap
plicant. The place where the trying
out will be held is a room at 232
South Tenth street, where headquar
ters of the master barbers' associa
tion has been established, in the
same building with a barber supply
house. Chairs and other equipment
will be provided there, which would
not be availaole at the capitol; Dut
each applicant must bring along his
own barber tools.
Shearing and shaving operations
are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a. m.
on April 9. This will be only part
of the examination, however, as can
didates will have to answer questions
showing their knowledge of the re
quirements of the barber law in re
gard to towels, sterilizing tools, etc.;
how to treat an accidental razor cut
on a patron's face; how massages
should be given and lotions admin
istered; and other salient points per
taining to the trade.
Secretary II. J. Walker of the state
barber board does not want the im
pi ssion to go out that the examin
ation will offer an opporttir.'t" ""
the general public to get free shv
and-haircuts. That phase of the a'
fair is merely incidental to find " .
whether the applicants are qualified.
However, it is expected that most of
the subjects who appear with the
candidates will be picked up in Lin
coln, as one coming from a distance
would hardly wish to go to the ex
pense of bringing along a fellow
townsman.
Besides demonstrating their abil
ity to cut hair and shave off whis-
hers in the approved manner, to mas
sage faces, shampoo heads, rub in
tonics, and the like, every prospec
tive ljarber must produce a certificate
showing that he has been examined
for contagious diseases and found j
free from them.
The fifteen aDDlicants now in
right for the first quiz at Lincoln is
likely to be increased to twenty or
nore before the date arrives.
On April 11, the barber board will
conduct a similar examination at
Omaha, in the Castle hotel, begin
ning at 10 o'clock. About two dozen
persons have already registered for
that one.
Ex-Senator Hitchcock really ought
to go back to the Senate. He is one
of the biggest men in the west and
big enough to accept any position In
the gift of the American people.
